Weekend Fun


On Friday, Lily and I met our friend Sarah for lunch at Panera. We had fun chatting and Lily was in a great mood! She kept trying to grab our food and drinks- silly girl.


We had my family over for supper on Friday night. Jacob grilled some yummy hamburgers. I'm ashamed to admit that it was the first time we've entertained since Lily was born- except for several nights a few guys came over to watch a movie, but that doesn't count. Now that it's summertime and Jacob isn't too busy in the evenings, we plan to have friends and family over much more. I love how Dad and Mom both have a grandbaby in the picture. So sweet!

Papaw and Ridley played outside after supper. Ridley loves pulling leaves off the tree!

Lily had fun watching them from her bouncer. She loves being outside!


On Saturday morning we met Jacob's family for breakfast at Cracker Barrel. Joseph's girlfriend was in town visiting, so it was fun to spend some time with them. It was fun for PawPaw to be able to come too!


We spent all Saturday afternoon at a youth orchestra concert. It was fun, but oh so long and hot! There was no air conditioning or fans in the gym! I felt so bad for the conductors. Jacob got to conduct a full orchestra of about 80 kids! It was awesome. They only had a week to prepare the pieces because it was like a music camp, but they did so well!


On Saturday evening, we went out to my Memaw's house and visited with some cousins that were in town. This is my cousin Mandy who blogs at Pennies and Blessings.

Everyone had a fun time playing with Lily. She was good even though it was so so hot outside!


Sunday was a great day of being in God's house and fellowshipping with family and friends! Lily kind of had a rough day though- she didn't sleep well the night before and she was so fussy all of Sunday morning. Thankfully she took two great naps Sunday afternoon and was better behaved on Sunday night.

Btw, isn't Lily's dress adorable?! Aunt Myra got it at a yard sale for her. I love it!


We all went to Myra and Ernie's for supper after church. Lily played for a little while in the pack and play with Ridley. They were so cute!


Jacob's family came over for supper last night. Jacob smoked a boston butt- oh it was so yummy! No, Jacob doesn't always cook, but in the summertime he loves grilling and smoking. I definitely don't complain! ha!

I got laid off from my part-time administrative assistant job over the weekend. The company's headquarters are in Florida and they decided to move my position to the home office. I had to pack up my office yesterday and my boss stopped by to get everything. It was hard.

I was planning to quit by the fall, but since Jacob doesn't have a full-time job through the summer, we really needed the money I was making. I know that God's ways are perfect and He will provide for all of our needs. Please keep us in your prayers if you think of it. My Etsy shop is doing really well so we are praying that it will continue to grow. If you know anyone looking for hairbows or pins I would love for you to send them my way! Thanks!

Hope you have a great day!
